I have heard what's in it, but the question staring at us is, "What are we going to do?" Trump won a free and fair election. He has the legal right to the Presidency. We have to face how we effed up or we screwing ourselves.

This --> bsky.app/profile/vlad... Harris did well until she started calling Trump a menace to democracy. He IS, but that did not attract voters to her.

But you still offer no solution. Please forgive me if I'm bugging u. I don't care what ur gender orientation is or who u love, I want u to live free and happy. And to get there, we have to be practical and find a way to live together with them. Or we can just give up and live under Trump's clan.

I know this, but trump voters aren't going away. What's your solution? Shouting to the wind how evil they are isn't going to solve anything.

So what is your solution?

What's your solution then?

No, I haven't, but if you're suggesting civil war, remember that, if we lost the same percentage of population to a civil war like the one we had, 9 million people would die. And that doesn't count the wounded and disabled.

You're absolutely right. Some trump supporters are TERRIBLE people. But not all of them. Some are tired of lead in their water. Others got their college degree and still can't make it. Some wonder why the hell Bill Gates was giving money to Africa while the mills in their towns were long dead.

We need to think about how to make trump voters feel less alienated. They can't distinguish a lie from a fact from an opinion, so they voted for the charming Obama and felt screwed. Biden made their lives better, but they still felt screwed. Maybe it was the lead in the water? No jobs?

Think this through... who are you going to get to vote against Trump? We screwed up and we gotta face that: bsky.app/profile/vlad...

Then who is going to vote against trump? He got 2.5 million more votes this election than 2020. Harris 7 million LESS than Biden in 2020. bsky.app/profile/vlad...

Giving into cynicism is the surest way to defeat yourself, your opponents only have to show up to win.

Yes. And they are also our countrymen. They won because we are alienated from them. They aren't going anywhere. If we don't win them over, Trump's clan wins in 2028 and they take apart presidential term limits and his kids are in power the rest of their lives. Think this through.

I am so glad of that! I hope all the new hires stay that way. (And I hope you can all relocate to Switzerland where the Trump clan can't try to bully you.)

No, there is no moral imperartive, but there's a practical one. What what are we to do? Trump support increased in this election over the last one. They outnumbered us. Biden only won because of COVID. He made their lives better, but they don't see it. We need to lure them from Trump.

I'm not trying to demean or deminish you, the Trump agenda is hateful and horrible. But those people aren't going away. In fact, they increased from 2020 to 2024. If we don't get them to trust us enough to vote for us, what else is there?

You're heart is healthy and true then. But pushing these people away is only going to solidify Trump's clan in power. Your friends are going to be worse off in the 2030s and for god's sake we have to win the trust of the people who trusted him. What other way will protect these people?
comment in response to
post
No. Most of the people in this country are not horrible, and calling them that will not win them over to our side. It will just keep trump's clan in power into the 2030s and beyond. youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?... and theconversation.com/i-watched-hu... and read Anne Applebaum's articles in the Atlantic.

It would be really good to read what Anne Applebaum's been writing in The Atlantic and listen to what the YT channels, Vlad Vexler and Vlad Vexler Chat have to say about Trump. Vexler is a Soviet-born Ukrainian political philosopher who grew up in the UK.

What you say about him is 100% correct. But he's not the problem and if we don't face that, we'll face worse in the 2030s. theconversation.com/i-watched-hu... and youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?....

"Flits" is better. "Skeets," even if it didn't have adult connotations, is too close to "Tweets." Butterflies flit and birds tweet.

I'm not trying to insult you, Aveta. I think you're intelligent enough to understand whats in those links. I definitely know you passionately love the right values! Try giving Anne Applebaum a read. She writes for The Atlantic. If an article is paywalled, paste the link into archive.today.

Aveta, please do read this: theconversation.com/i-watched-hu... and watch this: youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?.... Yes, some ppl did vote hate. But not most. And we need to deserve and win their trust if we have a hope to change this.

Gotta stop focusing on Trump and his assbites and focus on the people desparate enough to believe him, people with cant make a living doing jobs their parents raised families on. WE NEED TO DESERVE AND WIN THEIR TRUST. youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?...

But not enough. He won cuz enough people feel so dismissed and economically left behind they turned to magical thinking where they believed, "They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats," over "I'll help you buy your first house. WE NEED TO DESERVE AND WIN THEIR TRUST. youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?...

No. We lost because so many have felt dismissed and economically left behind for so long they believed the guy saying, "They're eating dogs. They're eating cats," over the woman saying, "I'll help you buy your first house." WE NEED TO DESERVE AND WIN THEIR TRUST. youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?...

Even if you aren't religious it might be an interesting project to try to figure out what about him resonated with people so much that his teachings took root in pagan countries before printing presses.

You have nothing to apologize for, you weren't offensive at all. It's just that it seems like you only heard about Jesus second-hand (lots of people, religious and nonreligious, say WEIRD stuff about him). 1/

His whole ethos was 'Love god with everything you got. Love yourself and love your neighbor like you love yourself." He didn't look down on anybody.

We need to LEAN INTO getting people to trust the left more than the current administration. Harris made a mistake calling Trump a threat to democracy. He is, but ppl couldn't hear that because they're too scared of the lead in their water and the blight in their communities.

Anti-LGBTQ is morally wrong but leaning into identity politics is only going to make things worse. Trump didn't win because ppl want to dictate your public bathroom, but because they felt dismissed and economically left behind. This is what we have to face: youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?...

Trump is being used by a group of oligarchs to siphon the wealth of the nation into their own pockets, just as Victor Orban and Putin are doing. Read Anne Appelbaum's articles on The Atlantic and Google Victor Orban and read as much about him as you can. also this: youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?...

We democrats need to pull our head out of our ass and get it on straight. We need to overcome social isolation, fake news, crisis of trust in government, etc.

And one side has been economically left behind and dismissed until they've reache a point in magical thinking where they picked a guy saying, "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs," over a woman saying, "I'll help you buy your first house." youtu.be/Um017R5Kr3A?...

It doesn't look like you got a serious reply, lol. Cats can smell through their nose, but also through the roof of their mouth through Jacobson's organs. They open their mouth like that and do a funny sneer when they need to smell something faint. Goolgle Jacobson's organs.

You can also watch, and direct others to watch, YouTube videos at Vlad Vexler Chat and Vlad Vexler like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxBu... and www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV3v... where he mentions the large minority who feel dismissed and economically stuck. He's also here! bsky.app/profile/vlad...
